An archive capture from 2017 when we headed over the border into Scotland .
The shot does not do the scene justice , I have cropped the top as there was some chromatic aberration due to the bright sky . This is very much steeper and higher than it appears which at the time only added to the atmosphere of being in Glencoe .
Glencoe or Glencoe Village (Gaelic: A’ Chà rnaich) is the main settlement in Glen Coe in the Lochaber area of the Scottish Highlands. It lies at the north-west end of the glen, on the southern bank of the River Coe where it enters Loch Leven (a salt-water loch off Loch Linnhe).
The village falls within the Ross, Skye and Lochaber part of the Highland council area for local government purposes. It is part of the registration county of Argyll and the lieutenancy area of Inverness for ceremonial functions.
The use of the term 'Glencoe Village' is a modern one, to differentiate the settlement from the glen itself.
The village is on the site of the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, in which 38 members of the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by forces acting on behalf of the government of King William III following the Glorious Revolution. Treachery was involved, since the Clan had fed the soldiers and given them shelter for nearly two weeks before they turned on their hosts. The glen is sometimes poetically referred to as "The Weeping Glen", in reference to this incident, although the Glencoe name was already in place well before the time of the massacre, as the Gaelic Gleann Comhann, the Comhann element of which may predate the Gaelic language, its meaning being uncertain.
The village occupies an area of the glen known as Carnoch. Native Gaelic speakers who belong to the area always refer to the village itself as A' Chà rnaich, meaning "the place of cairns". Even today there is Upper Carnoch and Lower Carnoch. There was formerly a small hospital at the southern end of the village just over an arched stone bridge. This has since been converted into an upmarket guest house, and the nearest hospital is now the Belford in Fort William, some 26 kilometres (16 mi) away.
Within Carnoch there is a small village shop, a Scottish Episcopal Church, Glencoe Folk Museum, Post Office, Glencoe Mountain Rescue Team centre, an outdoor centre, a number of bed and breakfast establishments, and a small primary school. The small Museum was started after a resident discovered "a cache of 200-year-old swords and pistols hidden there from the British Redcoats after the disastrous battle of Culloden".
Several eating establishments are around including the Glencoe Hotel, Glencoe Cafe and The Clachaig Inn. Glencoe is also a popular location for self-catering holidays; with many chalets, cottages and lodges available for weekly and short break rental. Also located in the village, but along the A82, is the Glencoe Visitor Centre, run by the National Trust for Scotland. This modern (constructed in 2002) visitor centre houses a coffee shop, store, and information centre. Nearby memorials sites are the Celtic cross at the Massacre of Glencoe Memorial, and plaque at Henderson Stone (Clach Eanruig).
The village is surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery and is popular with serious hill-walkers, rock and ice climbers. Travel writer Rick Steves describes the area as exhibiting "the wild, powerful and stark beauty of the Highlands ... dramatic valley, where the cliffsides seem to weep with running streams when it rains". The area has been seen in numerous films, including Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as the home of Hagrid, and the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall.
In Ian Fleming's original novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service James Bond tells Sir Hilary Bray, a genealogist with the Royal College of Arms, his father was from the Highlands, near Glencoe and in Fleming's other novel You Only Live Twice M's obituary for Bond also mentions his father, Andrew Bond, was from Glencoe.
Well known residents include Hamish MacInnes, mountaineer and inventor of the MacInnes Stretcher.

Liverworks grow very well deep in the cut "canyon" of McCormicks Creek State Park. In deep shade and near the stream, the humidity is high, just what liverworts like best!

Edward G. Kuster ,inspired by the castles he had known in Germany as a child,built this cottage when he moved to Carmel. The builder was Lee Gottfried.
Staying in Northumberland with the in laws this weekend and they live within a km of the River Tweed which divides England and Scotland. This is a stream that runs into the Tweed and yes the wild garlic carpeting the ground really is that green!
The smell is amazing as you walk over the garlic and it can be used to make Wild Garlic Pesto or just fried with butter.
"Allium ursinum is widespread across most of Europe. It grows in deciduous woodlands with moist soils, preferring slightly acidic conditions. In the British Isles, colonies are frequently associated with bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), especially in ancient woodland. It is considered to be an Ancient Woodland Indicator (AWI) species."

Rephaim Stream Park is a part of The Jerusalem Park and both are part of Judean Mountains National Park.
A stream in Tyresö, just south of Stockholm. I had about five mosquito bites on each hand after this shoot.
I have found that I have been slow in posting to flickr because I feel a touch of guilt for not being active at all on the site. I think I posted this one a full month ago on another site and there are several subsequent shots that I have not uploaded as well.
You can see this a bit bigger here on my revamped site.

Oakhanger Stream is a tributary of the River Slea that lies in Hampshire, England.
The source of the river is at Well Head, at the foot of Noar Hill, to the south of Selborne. The initial section towards Selborne is known as the Well Head Stream, the route was diverted in 1894 to provide a supply of water to the village in memory of Gilbert White. At Dorton, on the north side of Selborne, it is joined by the Gracious Street Stream. From Selborne, now known as the Oakhanger Stream, it passes through the village of Oakhanger then skirts the east side of Shortheath Common and on towards Kingsley Mill where it joins with the Kingsley Stream to form the Rver Slea.
Watermills
There were, at least, two corn mills on the Oakhanger Stream, the Old Mill in Selborne, a Grade II listed building now used as a private residence, and Dorton Mill, midway between Selborne and Oakhanger, of which no trace is now visible.
